Updates hidden underneath Assets in Menu selection

I’ve noticed a usability issue in Figma around discovering updates/published files . Currently it’s difficult to tell whether anything has been updated or need to be published. There’s no immediate visual indication in the left panel, and users must actively open the Assets panel to check if updates are available.This makes updates easy to miss and adds unnecessary friction.

Suggested improvement:

Introduce a small notification indicator (e.g. a dot or badge) on the relevant menu item. This would give users an at-a-glance signal that something has changed and needs attention, without requiring extra clicks or manual checking.

 

Thank you!

Btw, for anyone still looking, they just moved the icon to the bottom left of the sidebar:

I was actually going to share the same feedback. I found it quite frustrating that it wasn't easy to find the latest library updates in my files.
